On this episode of Docs in a Pod, host Caremenn Miles sits down with Dr. Sundas Ahmed from WellMed at Great Northwest in San Antonio to break down the key symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism—two common thyroid conditions that are often overlooked or mistaken for everyday fatigue, weight changes, or mood shifts.

Dr. Ahmed explains how the thyroid impacts the entire body, what red‑flag symptoms to watch for, how diagnosis works, and when it’s time to talk to your doctor. Whether you're experiencing unexplained weight changes, hair loss, anxiety, brain fog, or changes in energy levels, this episode offers valuable insight into what might be going on beneath the surface.
